A PORTLAND business owner is calling out for the amenity rooms on Henty Street to be open longer, after someone defecated near the back door of his store.

The Glenelg Shire operated toilet black is locked up as early 7pm in winter – leaving shoppers, and users of the nearby VLine bus stop and taxi rank without public facilities.
